My first rock band was called Mike and the Majestics. I was about twelve, and my older sister Kathy was the manager. There were three of us: me and a friend on guitars and a drummer. We were young, but we played for a lot of fraternity parties, plugging both guitars and a microphone into one little amplifier.

I truly cherish the time and experience with friends that I have been making music with for so many years, even decades now.

I hope to capture the public's imagination, but I can't live in the anxiety of that.

Michael McDonald Quotes
